Am I the only one who actually prefers plastic phones? Big slabs of plastic feels much nicer in the hand than big, thin, slippery glass and metal builds and all that shit.

I'm thinking about getting the new phones Wileyfox just announced, the Spark, to just use as a fitness tracker and beater phone, but it almost looks like the Wileyfox Swift is better than the Spark and Spark+.

So is the note 7 confirmed to have the edge meme?

Looking for something solid to last me a long time, that's not a big phone, money no object but specs are no object too.

S7 seems like the only one out there that makes sense, because N5X seems flawed and doesn't have good battery life. 6P too big, and S7 edge too slippery and pointless. The HTC10 is good, but S7 is better. The only other alternative is to wait for the Nexus 2016, right? Thanks :)

Independent yookay fag here. I'm in the market for a new phone. My budget is £400, but I really liked the look of the HTC 10. I was considering the OnePlus 3, but it doesn't have a micro SD slot. Should I wait til the HTC comes down in price (a la Black Friday or some shit), buy it used or just go for the OP3? My network will be BT (EE).
>>
>>55303678
>OP3
Your concern shouldn't be the missing SD slot, but the >3000mAh battery and the b-tier pentile screen from 2010.
>>
>>55303800
What would you suggest otherwise?
My main requirements are:
3 or more GB RAM
Snapdragon 820 or equivalent
Fingerprint scanner
Micro SD slot
>>
>>55303915
Mi 5 and Le 2 X820 are the cheapest SD820 phones you can find, but they both have their own issues (Mi 5 extremely fragile, X820 no headphone jack etc).

Maybe Zuk Z2 or Axon 7 when they release (should be very soon).

I currently have a Nexus 5 I bought on release, and I'm looking to upgrade.

TMobile currently has a BOGO deal with all their Samsung phones (Galaxy's and Notes)
Out of Samsung's lines, which is the better choice, the Galaxy S7 Edge or the Note 5? Alternatively, is the S7 Edge worth the extra few hundred compared to the S6 Edge plus? (What's the difference between the s6 edge and the s6 edge plus? They're the same price at the moment)

Buy from Top-One store on Aliexpress.

I broke my S6 and they're giving me an S7 Edge gratis because of my insurance policy. What can I expect? Will it still be a piece of shit like the S6? Will Gear VR still randomly turn on and force a restart of the phone? Will it still detect a regular cable as a docking station and refuse to charge no matter what? Will the USB port become farcically loose the point where you have to prop it up to even get it to charge? Will it get boiling lava hot when you have more than 3 apps open? Will it still be incredibly hard to root? Will it still not have an SD card slot?

Because I sure hope not.

It's been a while /g/. I recently got a new phone after not having one for months due to G4's bootloader issue.

Anyway, I'm really out of touch with some things. Mainly where to get .apk files. Trying to get my emulators back, mainly drastic. Can anyone recommend some sites for getting .Apk files?

I get most of my stuff from tpb, you could also just type "x apk" and try every site until you find one that suits your needs.

the galaxy S7 Edge is like $500 temporarily. i have an S4 as a reference device for android development. is now a good time/the s7 a good device to upgrade to?

should i just wait for the Nexus 7 (or whatever it is)?

this probably won't be a daily driver; just a relatively unused device that i can say is a "generic but good android device" for the next few years. hence the thought about just going with a nexus device when it gets refreshed.

I liked lg until I suffered the g4 boot loop, got a replacement no problem but as soon as I can get a new phone I am going to. Would like to avoid the hassle of dealing with a dead one again. g5 has a lot of reports of weird shit going on with new phones and I don't trust LG's qc anymore.

I need a tank of a phone.

I've been clinging to my QWERTY phone for almost four years now and it's finally starting to show its age. Considering the QWERTY has gone the way of the dodo, it will soon be time to retire this old soldier and get something that's not a slider. I'm looking for some kind of large phone since I'm a big guy with big hands and thumbs.

The Oukitel K10000 honestly looks like it's right up my alley. I'm in the Seattle area on T-Mobile, and word on the street is that the K10000 performs like ass in the US because of its mediocre specs and lack of support for higher-end bands, but really it's about on par with my current phone, a Samsung Galaxy S Relay with extended battery. $200 doesn't seem so bad for a modern-ish phone with slightly better specs and a gorillion-mAh battery that's actually THINNER than my current phone. The large battery is a plus as I am constantly doing something or another on my phone.

Can anyone vouch for the K10000 in the US? Or recommend me another large/thick phone with a microSD slot and a bigass battery?

I love my G2 but the audio jack in it has finally gone out of it and I can't use normal headphones in it anymore. I have to use blue tooth headphones now.

I could get another G2 for under $100 but I might aswell throw down the extra $100 and get a better phone from 2015 for $200.

So I'm currently looking at my next budget phone.. I can get a Nexus 6 for $210 right now. The LG G4 and the LG Flex 2 are also in that price range for me. The Galaxy s5 is around that price too but I rather stay away from Samsung.

Any suggestons brethen? At this point I just want a good battery, storage capacity and enough ram and juice to let me Youtube, snapchat, listen to music and browse the web at work. I might go check out a Windows Phone..

Worst case, factory reset. Check your application manager to see if they're still there or not, I've had apps disappear on me then fiddled with them in the manager.

How much did you get your HTC10 for?

If you don't care much for customization, automation, and being able to change default apps. Honestly iOS just feels and works like a glorified feature-phone OS, but for a lot of people that's just fine. Android is much more like a pocket-PC for better and for worse.
